When editing a transaction in GnuCash it is easy and recommended to tab
from field to field in the transaction and change the text, signs or
amounts as desired, with the caveat that tabbing off the right end of a
line will trigger GnuCash to calculate a sum of the two values in the
credit and debit fields and place a positive value in one of the boxes.

Then you can continue through the transaction until all lines are as
desired.  To commit your completed edit press Return or Enter whatever it
is called on your keyboard.  GnuCash will then re-arrange the lines so all
the lines with positive values in the left box appear first, then lines
with positive values in the right box appear below.  If there are lines
with zeros the zeros disappear but the line remains with empty boxes in
between the other lines.  This is also when GnuCash adds lines called
Imbalance if all the lines do not add up to zero.  Once you get used to
that behavior it seems automatic and logical.
